For a Thule HideAway Roll Out Awning designed for fitting an aftermarket roof rack like what you have on your 2018 Ram ProMaster 2500 the part number you want is # TH490010 and then for the roof rack adapter part # TH490001. With these two part numbers you'd be set. There'd be no vehicle drilling at all for this install.
